Hi, I (accidentally) created a file in the working directory named "--exclude". When I ran chown [username] * in that directory, it gave an error: chown: unrecognized option `--exclude'
It seems to me that chown should not think that something in the directory is a command option. I'm using the following chown on an EM64T machine. chown (GNU coreutils) 5.97 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software.
